4:5 Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding;
do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak.
8:13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
I hate arrogant pride and the evil way
and perverse utterances.
8:19 My fruit is better than the purest gold,
and what I produce is better than choice silver.
8:24 When there were no deep oceans I was born,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
8:27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he marked out the horizon over the face of the deep,
20:22 Do not say, “I will pay back evil!”
Wait for the Lord, so that he may vindicate you.
22:13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!
I will be killed in the middle of the streets!”
22:19 So that your confidence may be in the Lord,
I am making them known to you today – even you.
27:11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
so that I may answer anyone who taunts me.
